Chapter 560 - 560: Filing a Complaint

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Maybe it was just a dream she had?

A terrifying dream, yet enough to awaken her from continued weakness and incompetence.

But Lu Si firmly held her hand, insisting, “Tell me, what exactly happened in your… previous life?”

Mei Shu was mesmerized by his eyes, reflecting vast galaxies, and found herself at a loss amidst those eyes.

With a long sigh, Mei Shu skipped the part about Li Zhen and Zhang Jiao and briefly recounted how Mei Mu had harmed her and her younger brothers.

Lu Si listened quietly, his eyes brewing a storm, “Shu’er, I will avenge you.”

Mei Shu smirked and blinked at him, “Actually, I’ve already avenged myself. Haven’t you noticed that Mei Mu hasn’t shown up for a long time?”

Lu Si paused, recalling what Mei Shu had said about Mei Mu torturing her on her sickbed in her past life. His gaze flickered slightly, “Which hospital is she in now?”

“What are you going to do?” Mei Shu was afraid he might do something irreparable for her sake and quickly shook his arm, “You don’t need to get involved with Mei Mu’s affairs. She’s not worth your trouble, and isn’t it more satisfying for me to take revenge myself?”

Lu Si chuckled suddenly, “Well, I can stay out of it. But you didn’t seem to tell me everything just now, Shu’er. What was the trigger for your amnesia?”

Mei Shu hadn’t expected him to be so keen. Even the outrageous event of reincarnation couldn’t divert his attention. She sighed helplessly, “Asur, I don’t want to lie to you, but what happened to me is still too bizarre. I don’t want to talk about it for now. I’ll tell you when the time is right, okay?”

Of course, Lu Si wouldn’t pressure her. He shrugged and held her hand again, moving forward, “Okay, tell me when you’re ready. Shu’er, in this life, I will definitely protect you well. I won’t let those things happen again.”

Mei Shu glanced at him and saw his face tense, though his tone remained as casual as ever. Yet, his words carried extra weight.

Mei Shu held his hand back, facing the starry sky with great joy suddenly rising in her heart. She stopped and acted coquettish, “Asur, I can’t walk anymore. How about you carry me?”

Lu Si reached out and flicked her nose, then crouched down in front of her, “Get on.”

Mei Shu climbed onto his strong and sturdy back, wrapping her arms securely around his neck, as happy as a little girl who had received candy.

The streets were bustling with traffic and pedestrians that night, but they seemed deserted in front of the two of them.

They were full of each other in their hearts and eyes.

The days that followed passed quickly.

Mei Cheng indeed lived up to his word. Finding that Ye Yan was useless, he sought other ways to make things difficult for Mei Shu, forcing her to reduce her time at school.

The college entrance examination was approaching quickly.

During this time, Lu Si seemed even more nervous than Mei Shu herself.

Facing Mei Cheng’s deliberate targeting, Lu Si used his strength directly to block his moves. Later, he became annoyed by the harassment and directly ruined a multibillion-dollar deal of Mei Cheng, causing AAei Cheng to complain to Lu Ting.

When Lu Si came back that day, he saw Feng Wei crying and complaining to his grandfather at their home.

Lu Li astutely retreated to the study early.

Lu Ting listened silently to Feng Wei’s exaggerated story. Just as Lu Si returned, he waved for him to come over.

Feng Wei stopped crying, somewhat afraid, stealing a glance at Lu Si.

Lu Ting’s voice was heavy, “Did you sabotage Mei Cheng’s business?”

Lu Si justified himself confidently, “There’s no such thing as queuing in the business world. Strength is the only criterion. If Mei Cheng’s incapable, what’s that got to do with me?”

Lu Ting nodded in agreement, “Well said.” Then he turned to Feng Wei and pointed at the things she had brought, “Take them and leave. My house is not a nursery.”

Feng Wei’s face turned pale and then green.

Before coming, she had already thought it through. The news of the discord between Lu Si and Mei Shu had already spread. If she came to complain about Mei Shu, the old man should have been eager to seize the opportunity!

Why did he unexpectedly defend Mei Shu and even allow Lu Si to help her as he pleased?

“Mr. Lu, I…” Feng Wei hesitated, wanting to say something more.

“Get out! 1 don’t want to repeat it again!” Lu Ting exploded in anger.

Feng Wei dared not say anything more and stood up hesitantly, “Sir, please don’t be angry. Consider these gifts as a token of my respect. Please don’t hold any grudges against our family because of this. I’ll leave now.”

After saying that, she ran away in a hurry.

Lu Ting stared at the pile of gifts on the ground.

The butler immediately understood and stepped forward to tidy up the things, throwing them out of the door directly.

Lu Ting’s face eased after venting his anger, “You intervened to help Mei Shu. Doesn’t this violate the bet between us?”

Lu Si immediately became serious, “It’s not like that, Grandpa. I just personally don’t like Mei Cheng..”
